Fencing surrounding the perimeter of the Capitol was finally removed on Saturday, signaling a return to normalcy six months after the January 6 Capitol riot – but the public is still banned from going inside the building. Workers took down the remaining fencing surrounding the Capitol Building Friday and Saturday. The large 'outer perimeter fence' was removed in March 2021, but a smaller fence around the actual Capitol Building remained in place. The black perimeter fence is one of the last remaining signs of the January 6 riot. The larger Capitol Hill perimeter fencing was removed in March 2021, and the remainder around just the Capitol building came down four months later'Although the temporary fencing will be removed, current building access restrictions will remain in place,' according to the memo.
